    Hybrid & electric cars

    Does anyone know how to input a postcode into a Peugeot e2008? I find this car is far too complicated for the likes of me & any help would be appreciated. I`ve been into the manual but can find no reference to postcodes.

    So, does that mean i can put Elvis`s head on a photo of me & then post it on Tinder. ( That is a dating site for over 80`s isn`t it );)

    Pete, HDMI is definitely the way to go. If your pc doesn`t have HDMI you may need a usb to HDMI cable. I think your pc will have to have usb3 to use this cable. Usb3 is identified by blue in the slot. Hope this makes sense !

    why can`t they invent a vpn that doesn`t discriminate against certain sites that you`re trying to access. Even trying to track a parcel requires one to disconnect from vpn. Very annoying. I use Nord vpn. You can turn it around with a smile.:heart_eyes:

    Bedbugs

    My Wife vacuums the mattress every two weeks. Bedbugs is not something i`ve ever thought about, but now i`m wondering, as my army mattress never got vacuumed but can honestly say i don`t recall any bedbug bites. Where do they come from in the first place?

    Woolworths Memories

    Woolies Erdington. Loved the pig & mix & the warm salted peanuts. A lot of thieving went on, with the staff turning a blind eye in most cases, no wonder they went broke !
